Chapter 299: Xiao Qing Establishes His Authority
"No need for that. Please release Cui Shanhe and the others. We 'll talk ." Jian Bailou waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
Bai Yu Lieyang's expression changed several times, but in the end he waved to a great martial artist behind him, signaling him to release Cui Shanhe and others.
Soon Cui Shanhe and the other two were brought out.
There were bloodstains on Cui Shanhe and Yuntai's clothes, and their breathing was weak and disordered, especially Yuntai's right chest, which was slightly sunken, obviously with injured ribs. He limped and frowned slightly with every step he took.
Yun Lan's condition was slightly better, but her hair was also messy, there was an obvious palm mark on her face, and half of her face was swollen.
The three of them met the two elders Jian Bailou and Cui Baiming, and then met Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing.
Qin Ziling patted Cui Shanhe and Yuntai on the shoulders, then walked up to Yunlan, smoothed her messy hair, and asked softly, "How are you?"
"I'm fine, but I'm sorry to trouble you, my master, to come here in person." Yun Lan bowed slightly and replied.
"Yes." Qin Ziling nodded and said, "Don't worry, you have been wronged in this matter, I will definitely seek justice for you."
"How shameless! If it weren't for Senior Jian coming forward, what qualifications do you have to speak here?" Shi Yuejin saw Yun Lan calling herself a concubine in front of Qin Ziling and addressing him as master, and he couldn't help but feel jealous and sneered in a cold voice.
Seeing his beloved disciple mocking Qin Ziling at this time, Bai Yu Lieyang did not have any intention of blaming him. Instead, he suddenly laughed as if he had not heard anything. Then he bowed to Jian Bailou and said, "Friend Jian Dao, these are just the younger generation playing around. Now I have given the person to you, so I think we can leave it at that."
"Since the younger generation was just joking, what should we say about Sect Master Bai Yu injuring Cui Shanhe?" Jian Bailou said.
"Friend Jiandao, what do you mean by this? Do you want to have a duel with me just for this matter of the juniors?" Bai Yu Lieyang's face changed slightly.
"You know what, that's exactly what I meant. Let's have a fight. If I lose, we'll turn around and leave. If I win, I'll kill Shi Yuejin, and you, Bai Yu Lieyang, will apologize to the Cui family and the Yunlan siblings in public." Jian Bailou said, with an aura on his body like a sharp sword unsheathed, the edge becoming stronger and stronger. Even with Bai Yu Lieyang's cultivation level, he felt a little breathless because of this edge.
"Jian Bailou, don't forget that this is the Jinlie Clan. Everything here is decided by me!" Bai Yu Lieyang's face changed again, and an aura like a blazing flame suddenly burst out from his body, blocking the sword-like aura.
"So, Sect Master Bai Yu doesn't intend to fight me alone, and is preparing to use his superior numbers to bully the weak! That's fine. I, Jian Bailou, haven't killed anyone for many years, so I don't mind doing a bit of killing." Jian Bailou said coldly.
"Jian Bailou, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Bai Yu Lieyang said sternly, with blood surging in his body, causing a ball of fire to appear faintly behind him.
At this moment, Bai Yu Lieyang looked like an angry King Kong, powerful and majestic.
The people behind Bai Yu Lieyang also burst out with powerful momentum at this time, and crowds of people appeared around the perimeter of the palace square.
"There is no need to let so many innocent people bleed for this matter. How about this, let's all sit down and talk." Qin Ziling glanced around and spoke with a frown.
"Who do you think you are..." Shi Yuejin blurted out immediately when he saw Qin Ziling stealing the spotlight at this time.
"Clang!" Xiao Qing suddenly pulled out the Qinglong Spear, and he flew into the air. The spear shot out like an angry dragon, and the spear light pierced through the void and killed Shi Yuejin.
Bai Yu Lieyang's face suddenly changed, and just as he was about to make a move, he felt an extremely cold sword intent locking onto him, and he dared not act rashly for a moment.
Seeing this, Shi Yuejin, who was the first to be hit, hurriedly flew sideways, raised his palm knife, and spit out flaming force, trying to cut the Qinglong Spear in half.
But the two times Xiao Qing dispersed his strength, no matter it was to refine the skin or bones, he refined everything except the head, and his foundation was extremely solid.
When they surrounded and killed the Feijin Beast last year, Xiao Qing had just broken through to become a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining, and his strength was already close to that of a grandmaster.
After killing the Feijin Beast, for the past six months, she has been consuming the Feijin Beast's flesh and blood, as well as various other meats, medicinal herbs and elixirs that increase her Qi and blood strength every day. Her bone refining has progressed steadily, and her Qi and blood strength has become even more astonishingly powerful.
Now, of the 177 bones in her body except the head, only the last 15 bones have not been refined. Once these 15 bones are refined, she will be ready to take the Shenglong Fruit and break through to become a master.
So although Xiao Qing now seems to be only in the late Bone Refining realm, in fact her combat power has surpassed that of an ordinary martial arts master.
Before Shi Yuejin's palm knife touched the Qinglong Spear, Xiao Qing's spear had already swung like a dragon, dodging the palm knife, and the sharp spear tip still pierced towards Shi Yuejin's throat.
Shi Yuejin's face turned pale and beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
The six great martial artists in the late bone refining stage who were standing nearby saw that Xiao Qing's spear skills were as fast as lightning, as powerful and agile as a swimming dragon, and that he had actually locked onto the retreating Shi Yuejin like a shadow. All of their faces changed drastically, and they quickly drew their swords to intercept Xiao Qing.
Cui Baiming's face changed drastically when he saw this. Just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by Qin Ziling's eyes.
No one knows Xiao Qing's strength better than Qin Ziling.
Moreover, after what happened with Yun Lan, it was time for Xiao Qing to show his prowess and establish his authority in Xiyun Prefecture, not just in Fangliao County.
Otherwise, others would really think that she, Xiao Qing, was just a county magistrate of a small place and was easy to bully!
Of course, Qin Ziling still has a murder case on his hands, so it is better to be cautious and not show off his power in public!
Of course, Qin Ziling was also used to hiding behind the scenes, so this would leave himself some room for maneuver.
Otherwise, once all the cards are played, once we encounter a strong enemy, everything on our side will be calculated clearly by the enemy and there will be no room for maneuver.
Six people drew their swords together.
But Xiao Qing's spear moved unsteadily, like a real swimming dragon.
The sharp spear light flashed with cold rays, which actually enveloped all the great martial artists, making them all think that the spear was aimed at them. They felt a chill in their hearts and turned their swords to defend themselves.
"Swish!" The sound of a protective energy being torn and pierced by a sharp object suddenly rang out in the square.
Shi Yuejin suddenly seemed to be under a spell and stood still in the square, not daring to move.
The sharp tip of the gun was pressed against his neck, and a little bit of bright red blood dripped from the tip of the gun.
"Tap! Tap!" Beads of cold sweat dripped onto the ground paved with boulders, and the sound was clearly audible at this moment.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and the people of Jinliemen felt a chill on their backs, even Bai Yulieyang was no exception.
The change in the power of this gun has definitely reached the grandmaster level!
"Don't think that just because my brother was injured, you can keep speaking rudely to him again and again. If you dare to say a word of nonsense again, I will shoot you first!"
Xiao Qing's cold voice rang out in the square, waking everyone up. Shi Yuejin's face turned paler and beads of cold sweat kept rolling down his cheeks.
Bai Yu Lieyang's face looked very ugly.
Previously, he was proud of his beloved disciple Shi Yuejin , but now he wanted to slap him in the face.
For the sake of a woman, he suddenly attracted two master-level enemies!
Of course, he automatically ignored the fact that Bai Yulieyang was asked by Pang Zhiyuan to take advantage of the topic.
"Master Baiyu, do you think it would be better for us to sit down and talk?" Qin Ziling glanced at Shi Yuejin as if he was looking at a dead person, and then spoke again.
The skin on Bai Yu Lieyang's face twitched violently for a few times, then he bowed to Qin Ziling and said, "My dear Qin, what you said is absolutely right. It's really unnecessary to start a big fight and cause bloodshed over such a small matter. It's better to sit down and talk."
The situation has changed now. Qin Ziling has a woman with master-level combat power behind him, and Bai Yu Lieyang no longer dares to ignore his words.
"Yunlan and Yuntai are both my people, and Cui Shanhe is my cousin. How about this, Senior Jian and I will represent them in the talk with Sect Master Baiyu, what do you think?" Qin Ziling asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Bai Yu Lieyang nodded.
Qin Ziling smiled, and then said: "But before we talk, I still need to ask some questions in detail. Master Bai Yu, please wait a moment."
After Qin Ziling finished speaking, he didn't care whether Bai Yulieyang agreed or not. He called Yunlan over and asked in a low voice about the details.
After asking, Qin Ziling gently hugged Yun Lan and patted her shoulders to comfort her. Then he looked at Bai Yu Lieyang and said, "The situation is not bad. Your people didn't do anything to her in Jinyan Mountain."
Bai Yu Lieyang looked very unnatural when he heard this. He wanted to get angry but suppressed it.
He was such a prominent figure, but he didn't expect to be spoken to in such a tone by a junior today.
Jian Bailou, Cui Shanhe and Xiao Qing, however, were in a different mood, and they looked at Bai Yu Lieyang's head with rather subtle eyes.
The head is saved!
"Friend Jiandao, little friend Qin, please come in." Bai Yu Lieyang said with a serious face.
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the main hall without waiting for Jian Bailou and Qin Ziling.
As a martial arts master, Bai Yu Lieyang felt really uncomfortable holding back this anger.
Jian Bailou and Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally upon seeing this, then followed him into the hall.
The main hall is called the Flame Hall. It looks very spectacular from the outside. In addition to being spacious and magnificent inside, it also gives people a solemn feeling.
At Qin Ziling's request, all the servants who were pouring tea and water in the hall were cleared out.
In fact, even if Qin Ziling didn't say it, Bai Yu Lieyang would have cleared them out.
This time, Jin Liemen was in the wrong first.
It’s nothing in itself. As long as you are strong enough, you can even be right even if you are wrong!
As a result, two master-level figures suddenly appeared on the other side, one of whom was Jian Bailou, a powerful figure who could fight against a Qi Refining master in the late Zhenyuan realm. Jin Liemen could not escape the blame.
Since he can't escape the fact that he is in the wrong, Bai Yu Lieyang's performance in this negotiation is bound to be inferior to others.
Bai Yu Lieyang naturally didn't want the people below to see him losing his dignity.
